AFAIK it would be Microsoft creating the API, GPUs don't need compilers.

 

Nothing needs a compiler, you can just program everything in assembly. If you saying there are no GPGPU compilers... I don't know how to respond to that. Ever heard of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CUDA ? I thought you were a big GPGPU evangelist or something?

 

This isn't a GPGPU application. Its straight up GPU work here.
